Best of Davis Square Poll #1: Best Burrito

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

Sorry surrealestate, but I'm gonna jump in and create this one. You can do the poll #2.

For the Burritos my personal preference is to just do those places right in Davis Square. If there is a desire to widen it to Teele or Porter, we can do this again.

EDIT: Deleted and reposted, apologies to those who voted already, but you will have to revote.

Anna's is cheaper and closer to me so I probably go there more often, but Boloco is constantly giving me freebies and discounts of various kinds and is generally a less frantic atmosphere.

and Blue Shirt is just made of awesome.

also, when you're a Brookline-er, you're kind of obligated to choose Anna's, so the scales are tipped.

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

Value wise, I'd probably go with Anna's, but just in terms of pure burrito, I do like Chipotle.

[richips.livejournal.com]

Isn't Chipotle owned by McDonald's? Or was that QDoba? Or both?

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

To me, Qdoba is just like Chipotle, they just have a non-phallic shape.

I'm not sure who the parent company is, but I'll check.

Boloco's BURRITOS aren't as good, but they have more variety... Anna's traditional stuff is better... IMHO

[ron_newman]

No. Used to be. Isn't anymore. Qdoba is owned by Jack-in-the-Box.

aw, there's no "Other" option for those of us who haven't tried them all yet, or don't eat burritoes, etc.
(but I still want to see the results)

I think quality is much higher at Anna's. Flavorwise, I also think Anna's has an edge.

[richips.livejournal.com]

Riiiight, and there was a big scandal with that too.

[ron_newman]

What scandal?

[wildflowersoul.livejournal.com]

Why would anyone who doesn't eat burritos vote in a "best burrito" poll?

But that has nothing to do with Qdoba. Qdoba didn't even exist in 1993.

[richips.livejournal.com]

I'm just sort of piecing together all the connections aloud, don't mind me.

[mperrotti76.livejournal.com]

I prefer pink tacos.

You are so gay. Just come out already.

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

I'm happy, yes.

seriously

[tracy-rolling.livejournal.com]

None of these places has a decent burrito. I don't think I've had a good burrito since I hit Massachusetts.

[richips.livejournal.com]

i propose next meetup at gay bar

I agree with you that none of these places has really great burritos. I once heard someone going into Anna's warning his friends, "Now this place is really authentic, so watch out for how spicy the burritos are," and I had to work to keep a straight face. You can do a lot better in smaller, non-chain places if you're willing to travel beyond the Square, like to Tacos Lupita.

[mattdm.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

Boloco also gets points from me for more-healthy ingredients, including brown rice + whole wheat tortillas.

Oh! Maria Bonita, on Mass Ave near the bikepath intersection.
